Today, people are able to engage in choice in almost every aspect of their lives - 'choice' is good; we look up to people who pursue their personal goals. The worship of choice enables people to pursue individual self-fulfilment as the main motivating force in their lives. Resisting temptation is not on the agenda. The fallout in society is a higher level of crime, a lower standard of 'morality', abandonment of ethics at work and an increase in litigation, because failure in our lives must mean 'it's someone else's fault'. The church is also infiltrated - failing to resist temptation has led us to increasing divorce levels, scandal, and internal strife. Colin Peckham's book is a practical guide to resisting temptation. We discover how temptation works, what places and times to avoid putting yourself into the 'danger zone', and how to escape, both practically and spiritually. He also supplies scriptures to meditate on to defend ourselves in future.

Sherwood Baptist Church pastor Catt, executive producer of the hit films "Facing the Giants" and "Fireproof," emphasizes the power of persistent prayer in every facet of life.
In Jesus on Trial, David Limbaugh applies his lifetime of legal experience to a unique new undertaking: making a case for the gospels as hard evidence of the life and work of Jesus Christ. Limbaugh, a practicing attorney and former professor of law, approaches the canonical gospels with the same level of scrutiny he would apply to any legal document and asks all the necessary questions about the story of Jesus told through Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. His analysis of the texts becomes profoundly personal as he reflects on his own spiritual and intellectual odyssey from determined skeptic to devout Christian. Ultimately, Limbaugh concludes that the words Christians have treasured for centuries stand up to his exhaustive inquiry—including his examination of historical and religious evidence beyond the gospels—and thereby affirms Christian faith, spirituality, and tradition.

This is the story (told in nearly two hundred short recollections) of a surgeon from a family of surgeons, raised in the Arkansas oil country of the Jim Crow South. A churchgoer from his childhood, he came to a saving knowledge of Christ (along with his wife Cathy) only in the late 1970s. And from that turning point, they proved themselves to be choice servants of the Lord in countless ways--in John's case, as a deacon, a surgeon in the Amazon region, a denominational and parachurch board member, a conference speaker in Eastern Europe, a free-clinic doctor in Southwest Missouri, and a church staff member. Along the way, he took note of a host of engaging events, characters, and conversations, whether among fellow Air Force doctors on parade, with medical colleagues observing a gratifying, ancillary effect of defibrillation, or in the company of an aunt who introduced him to Roy Rogers and Stan Musial. There was even an Elvis sighting. The book is rich in theological, ecclesiological, missiological, familial, sociological, psychological, and medical narratives and observations.
